Graduate Living HOUSING SELECTION PROCESS
A community of thinkers, doers, learners, and leaders
On behalf of the University Housing and Residential
Life staff, I welcome you to campus life. Our staff in
Graduate Housing works hard to develop a supportive
living environment that promotes academic success
and personal growth.
The housing option for graduate and professional
students is the Podiatry Residence Hall at Eighth
and Cherry Streets on the campus of the School of
Podiatric Medicine.
Besides the easy application process, there are many
other benefits to on-campus Graduate Housing:
• Residences that offer an environment well suited for a busy schedule. All units in the Podiatric Residence Hall offer single occupancy or a private bedroom. Additionally, family housing units are available on a limited basis.
• A choice between a 10-month or 12-month Housing assignment.
• A community environment where opportunities to study and socialize together are promoted.
• Convenient locations—the Podiatric Student Residence Complex is located adjacent to the School of Podiatric Medicine and convenient to locations in vibrant Center City Philadelphia.
• Cable, telephone and Internet access are available in each apartment unit.
I hope you will consider joining our residence community at Temple University.
Sincerely,
Sean P. Killion Ed.D, M.B.A.

What makes living off-campus appealing to students is that within minutes from Temple’s campuses, you will find yourself in Center City Philadelphia with the convenience of shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and a high concentration of residential neighborhoods. Some popular areas include Washington Square, Avenue of the Arts, Rittenhouse Square, Chinatown, Old City, and the Art Museum/Fairmount. Each of these areas offers a wide selection of property types (high-rise, brownstone, etc.), with a wide range of amenities such as doorman buildings, 24-hour security, and other amenities to fit different budgets. Each area has its own charm and feel, providing students with a comfortable living environment and rich historic feel of Philadelphia.
The Office of University Housing and Residential Life can provide you with assistance in finding alternatives right around the corner from campus.
